    Not sure I totally agree. The idea of researching and applying addictive traits to anything feels like something to be regulated. It’s not literally brainwashing but applying pressure to these topic can make anything positive into a negative. Even something like getting people to exercise could turn into someone collapsing if addictive qualities were applied.

      Ok, but you can’t actually isolate ‘knowledge of addictive behaviour’ into a regulatable thing without an absurd amount of government oversight i.e. examing every employees work to check they aren’t using that pesky psyschology degree.
